Phoned the restaurant and booked lunch at 12.30 for three people.
After the message the answer phone repeated their opening hours. Thursday to Sunday 10am to 5pm.
We drove from the eastern side of Christchurch out to West Melton and found the place closed.
The sign outside clearly stated the same opening hours. No notice on the door.
This morning I called a mobile number and finally reached the owner to be told they were on holiday for two weeks.
When I asked why they hadn't changed the message or the sign board I was told "They didn't want their customers to think they were closed". ?????????

Ordered online and expected to collect when I arrived. My order had been given to someone else. They asked if I would like the other person's order. Er no thanks. After waiting another 20 mins for it to be cooked they wanted to charge me full price. When I argued that I'd been inconvenienced the only concession I was offered was a free garlic bread.

First time eating at coriander. Food was tasty, good value, great service....couldnt ask for much more. Menu had the best variety I have seen in an Indian restaurant. Also child friendly which is always a bonus when you have little ones.
Most definitely stick to coriander's for Indian food from now in

We came for breakfast Sunday morning, mainly because we were in the area and they are in the Entertainment Book. So glad we did! Absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in the door, where we were greeted with a cheery hello and taken right to a table, till when we paid the bill (and a nice wee discount thanks to the book), it was just lovely. The vegetarian breakfast is really well worth it, and filling. My partner had the big breakfast option, which he also said was filling, even if the bacon was a bit so-so (but as I didn’t have that, I really can’t complain). Would love to go back. Brilliant place. And there is even a nice outside grass area with benches that you could always chuck the children on, to get them away from other diners – which is a great idea.
5. Coffee Culture Lincoln

Kris and Chrissy Partridge are old hands in the Lincoln area and are known to many locals. They have a great team to give you all your favourites with all the energy you'd expect from a couple of ex-fitness buffs. Great people and great coffee make Coffee Culture Lincoln a 'must see' next time you're out in the country!

Two coffees to go - $11.20 are you serious??? My sister and I decided to call in for a quick caffeine hit this afternoon. The service was pleasant and the waiting time was acceptable but a small long back and a single shot cappuccino for $11.20? Worse still no sugar so sis was not a happy panda. Travel another 1km up the road to McDonalds McCafe people.

Here at The Rock Rolleston, we serve amazing food... not just pub grub !Our chefs cook all meals in house.. from pates and terrines to our desserts. We don't buy in pre-made food.We're family owned and managed and can guarantee friendly but professional service .Our wine list features excellent local wines and our food not only delights the eye but the taste buds too and you won't leave hungry as our portions are generous.Dine outdoors in our relaxed courtyard garden or inside in our attractive restaurant.The VIP table, Seating 12 and set in a separate area of the dining room, is great for smaller celebrations and the private function room catering for up to 50 guests, is great for a bigger party and can also be set up for a small conference.

great food, nice ambiance, but service was slow and drew the night out, it was a Wednesday evening, and not very busy, it was a bit disappointingly slow.

Honestly some of the best thai food I have ever had, super impressed. Our meals came out to us quickly, were hot and full of good quality meat with lots of veggies! The atmosphere here is great, an intimate, warm, family friendly place with lovely staff. Can't wait to come back again!

My family and I went to this restaurant/pub for dinner earlier this week and the experience was superb. We ordered the wood fired pizza, and it was absolutely delicious, with the crispy base and crust, and stringy cheese!! The staff were very friendly, and there was an overall nice and fun atmosphere. The decor of the restaurant was interesting and modern, while keeping up with the clever ‘laboratory’ theme!

Believe me when we say, we have been to a lot of fish & chip places around Canterbury/Otago and this is just another standard fish and chip shop. We don't won't to take away anything from the people that work there because they seemed really nice and the service was good but the food is nothing spectacular. The fish is too flat and not crispy enough, as were the chips...
But ff you are in the mood for something like this which a lot of us are from time to time; give it a go! Let us know what we need to try next time (e.g. burgers, sausages, etc.)
